I'm interested to hear from someone that will disprove this, surely there are good examples given the voting on this.

the comments and the downvotes would be fascinating if it weren't so clear that they come from a place of deeply ingrained willful ignorance.

even the american liberal media is starting to admit that this is true, yet american liberals clutch onto it for whatever reason and i wish i could understand why.

Israel has controlled the USG for decades now. We support Israel because they have been intricately and impressively spying on us since at least the 1980s and bought and paid for most of our politicians. It's just that simple, they own our politicians, and therefore: when they do heinous evil, our politicians look away.

Ukraine was invaded by our largest rival on the world stage as a power grab, and NATO decided to help.

The two situations are not comparable in the slightest.

There will be violence in Ukraine regardless of whether weapons are sent there or not. The second option will make it so there's noone to police the russians. Pretty much like palestinians can't do much about israelis slaughtering them.

NATO had buit the largest of any European armies there and they were slaughtering the ethnic Russians, nobody was crying about policing them were they?

So what you meant to say is: "I think

NATO had buit the largest of any European armies there and they were slaughtering the ethnic Russians, nobody was crying about policing them were they?

But I have no sources other than my thoughts to support this view."

I'm saying this is not some secret and verifiable fact. They had 600K and a few100k reserves.
Far more than England, France or whoever. Also the most tanks and everything else except navy.
Even with all the nATO help and training it didn't go too well so they used the Minsk accords to arm even further.
Merkel admitted this, it is clear they never intended to honor it.
Reports from the OCSE show how they continuously broke the ceasefire.
Just before Russia intervened they reported 100's of bombings.
98% on the ukro site.
Maybe learn to look something up, or don't and keep making snooty remarks bcs you don't want to see the truth.
